Friday's Sound Off

Everybody, especially seniors and veterans, please call 866-584-3909 and tell Washington to leave Social Security and veterans’ benefits out of any budget deal. As a senior I beg of you to please call in because our lives are going down the drain with Obama. Please help save us and especially the veterans who saved this land. God bless.

The overspending Spring-Ford School Board wants to get all of Spring-Ford smart boards now. Who’s going to pay for them? The taxpayers are all tapped out and Spring-Ford sure doesn’t have the highest test scores in the area. All taxpayers go to these meetings and tell the board to stop throwing around our money like we make the kind of money that we pay the administrators and teachers. Do your job board and cut back now.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

This is to the family whose dogs were murdered. My consolation to you is that they are now playing over the rainbow bridge with my cats, some of which have been poisoned, having a good time and shall I say when we cross that bridge, they will come running to us. My sympathies to you and your family. Just remember someplace in a shelter are two dogs that need a loving home such as you have.

BILL SHARON

Don’t place all the blame on the middle class for the re-election of Obama. Blame the ones who are the takers and think the government owes them something. Dr. Benjamin Carson made a good speech two weeks ago at Obama’s breakfast/luncheon. Too bad no one was interested.

CONCERNED SENIOR CITIZEN

To the landlord who had bad renters who left your property with trash and furniture, don’t blame all renters for that. We know your coverage will pay for your loss in insurance. Not everyone are slobs.

Under the president’s sequestration they say we’re going to cut 10 percent. Homeland Security’s Napolitano says everything will be cut 10 percent. What I would like to know is if the president’s salary and Congress’ salary are going to be cut 10 percent?

They can’t seem to do anything else right. Maybe they should take 20 percent off.

I see our new politician Mark Painter, a previous tax collector, is trying to push a bill through. The bill I want to see pushed through Mark is lowering or doing away with school taxes. Come on, that’s why we put you in, or are you the same as them?

Residents of Montgomery County please contact your state representatives and let them know you are not willing to pay your bills. Major creditors are now requiring payments of $14 or more in order for consumers to pay their bills. Check the back of your current bills such as Nissan, Macy’s and Home Depot. You will find in order to pay your bills, you’re going to have to pay. This is utterly ridiculous and it’s time for this nonsense to stop.

Same uncertain Boyertown School Board members, at-large voting deprives specific taxpayers of representation. Our tax dollars are being used against us in court. Silencing opposition to huge debt is a mistake for our future in this community. That is not something anyone with a brain would embrace. Just consider our national debt. Financial responsibility and fairness should be cornerstones of your position. Total control is more appropriate in Iran or Syria.

I wonder what is wrong with our society. It is OK to kill unborn children but kill two dogs trespassing on your property and you are possibly prosecuted maybe even put in jail. Since when is an animal worth more than a human being? What a sad, sad situation that we have become a society where we have degenerated so far. How long will God still spare us from judgement?

A HUMAN LOVER

To the landlord saying they had all this trash to throw out when the people left and they ruined the door and the house smelled, apparently you’re a slum lord. I rent our property and I visit my property at least twice a month to make sure my tenants are taking care of the property as they are supposed to which is in the lease that they sign. So maybe you should take that into consideration and visit your property more often.

A GREAT HOMEOWNER

I read in the paper where East Coventry Ridge Firehouse is applying for a loan. I would like to know why they did apply or receive a grant from the state like all of the other firehouses around?

A RESIDENT JUST CURIOUS

The borough of Pottstown could make a mint if they would sit between the Wawa and the First Niagara Bank and watch all the people who blow through the stop signs there.
